    Abstract: Provided are novel compositions of current compliance layers (CCLs) as well as novel methods of fabricating such CCLs and novel architectures of arranging CCLs and memory cells in memory arrays. A CCL may comprise one of sulfur (S), selenium (Se), and tellurium (Te). The CCL may further comprise one of germanium (Ge) and silicon (Si). CCLs may be fabricated as amorphous structure and remain amorphous when heated to 400° C. or 450° C. and above. In some embodiments, CCLs have crystallization temperatures of greater than 400° C. and, in some embodiments, glass transition temperatures of greater than 400° C. CCLs may be fabricated using atomic layer deposition (ALD) as a nanolaminate of layers having different compositions. The composition, number, and arrangement of the layers in the nanolaminate is specifically selected to yield a desired composition of CCL.

    Abstract: Embodiments provided herein describe systems and method for processing substrates. A substrate is provided. A showerhead is positioned above the substrate. The showerhead includes a plurality of injection ports, at least one isolation channel, and at least one exhaust port on a bottom surface thereof. The at least one isolation channel separates the plurality of injection ports into two or more sections. The at least one exhaust port is positioned within the at least one isolation channel. The plurality of injection ports are not in fluid communication with the at least one exhaust port within the showerhead. At least one processing fluid is caused to be delivered from the plurality of injection ports onto the substrate. At least some of the at least one processing fluid is caused to be removed from the substrate through the at least one exhaust port.

    Abstract: A co-sputter technique is used to deposit In—Ga—Zn—O films using PVD. The films are deposited in an atmosphere including both oxygen and argon. A heater setpoint of about 300 C results in a substrate temperature of about 165 C. One target includes an alloy of In, Ga, Zn, and O with an atomic ratio of In:Ga:Zn of about 1:1:1. The second target includes a compound of zinc oxide. The films exhibit the c-axis aligned crystalline (CAAC) phase in an as-deposited state, without the need of a subsequent anneal treatment.
